The Yellowhead AAA Midget Female Chiefs took a break from league play last weekend for a pair of exhibition games against the St. Mary’s Flames. The results from those games were not what Yellowhead was hoping for, as they were beaten in both contests.

The first game was played on Friday, Dec. 2 at the Shoal Lake Communiplex. Though Yellowhead was able to keep pace with  St. Mary’s for the majority of regulation, a three goal run in the third provided the 4-1 win for the Flames. Tatum Amy put away the only goal of the night for Yellowhead, while Jena Barscello and Morgan Ramsay assisted on the play.

These two teams would meet on the ice once again the following day, this time in Winnipeg at the MTS Iceplex. A strong effort in the third period, which included three goals, led St. Mary’s to the 6-4 victory. The Chiefs had a much stronger offensive effort in this matchup, with McKiya Mazur (two goals - one assist), Jena Barscello and Tatum Amy scoring. 

The next challenge for the Chiefs is this weekend  in Wilcox, Saskatchewan, when they participate in the Mandi Schwartz Memorial Tournament.
